The University of Michigan Women of Color in the Academy Project (WOCAP) will present its 11th Annual Shirley Verrett Award on May 4, 2023, at the University of Michigan Museum of Art on 525 S State St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 honoring Professor Amy Ku’uleialoha Stillman for her exemplary leadership and advocacy on behalf of diverse students. Stillman has nurtured students through her teachings about the meaning of music, dance, and the special language that weaves through the movements and the sound.

Please join us for an evening of celebration beginning at 5:30 P.M with a reception to follow.

The event is free and open to the public, however, registration is requested.

The Shirley Verrett Award was created in 2011 by the Office of the Senior Vice Provost in honor of the late Shirley Verrett, a U-M professor who “would have walked the world over for her students,” organizers say. It is administered by WOCAP and is supported by SMTD, UMMA, and ODEI.
